Woodturning - Failed Pencil Project - & I Got Smurfed !

[@jenneferelie2292]

I actually like the bowl! It isn’t as cool as the pencil vase but still a super interesting piece!

[@toddwagester5412]

For real right, I mean I know the bubbles and yellowing are " imperfections' but I think that was part of what made it cool!

[@pamelahughes341]

I sort of like the bowl too. Maybe a tea candle would look good shining thru the cracks in the resin. So used as a candle holder?

[@whybutwhy4137]

I liked the bowl too.

[@the1stmadmax]

I’m with u on this one definitely unique

[@Tinatortoise]

I'm with you x

[@trolwarrior2]

I think the bowl looked good for being a made out a failed peace really made it look cool seeing all the defects

[@tayevanmerlin5881]

I just love the demented way you create such interesting things. You are extremely creative, highly technically skilled, and too funny for words.

[@timefoolery]

[@vangoghho9542]

I really enjoy the blue! It looks like chunks of colored pencil lead floating around

[@PossumLover1111]

I like the bowl too. I love imperfect objects as they have their own character. I'd love to own it. It's darling!

[@SuperHappyScrapper]

The bowl actually looks really cool

[@El_Jefe_Zamora]

That vase looks like books in a shelf. Would be a great gift for a teacher or librarian, even for a bookworm. Great job on this.

[@RICDirector]

Same!

[@nikalice2068]

It's really cool how you can take something that didn't go as planned and still make something incredible out of it!

[@dedklownx]

The blue looks like poster tack and goes well with the pencils. Full on classroom vibe

[@Jedieli29]

One of the reasons I always watch your videos for years now, besides your awesome creativity, is you have such a great attitude even when you make a mistake or decide something isn't turning out the way you wanted, you just take it on the chin and keep going, when you said you live, you learn that said it all. Never change Nick

[@luckyduck3985]

Hey Nick, love your vids. Definitely using them to learn things to start my own resin/woodworking hobby. Would love to see maybe just a quick blurb in each vid meant solely to teach something to beginners (maybe 30 seconds) like how to sharpen tools or something basic. Or maybe some dedicated how to vids. Again Love your stuff man, keep up the good work.

[@shadowqueenskye5415]

The case reminds me of a book shelf with several colorful tomes. The forbidden mini library.

[@Peekboo1973]

This! 😁

[@tbear6287]

I thought the same exact thing about it looking like books on a bookshelf

[@crabbyrat1972]

Agreed! Reminiscent of the fantastic libraries in various animated movies. 😁

Same. Great video and I actually like the second piece. Good night from Texas.

[@amcreationsandrestorations6899]

Same here from Indiana

[@margaretzuelke9761]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BOWL! I would spend time filling the rest of the holes with resin, a little at a time, and simply adore it for the rest of my life!

[@blazehammer192]

The blue milliput highlighted the imperfections and it made it look really nice!!

[@maryann4721]

I like them both. The bowl reminds me of a project your child does at school that might not be 'perfect' but you know they tried their best and you display it with pride! You did a great job upcycling your upcycles!

[@DCarnahan82]

Just ordered the failed bowl from your site. Can’t wait to get it

[@lissanne9769]

Lucky you! I knew someone would like to have it. Congratulations!

[@vettechdave]

You're too quick! I was hoping to grab the bowl myself. Thought it would have been perfect for my RPG dice. Oh well. Gratz.

[@AshlynnChristina]

How much was it?

[@johnhenry6009]

Just popped on to see if I could buy it. Good on ya!

[@nickzammeti]

Haha happy days 🥳🥳🙏🏽

[@thewickedcritic8352]

Found the channel over this past crazy year and have since watched every video (second channel, too). It was really cool to see the progression of your style over a few years until you landed in this funky groove. You bring a ton of positive energy and happy vibes and we have certainly needed more of that as of late. For that I thank you. I look forward to the next one.

[@Jupernia]

Nick you're crazy, the bowl is awesome. It has such interesting detail that makes it really stand out. Also the blue millieput makes it look like paint got spattered on it as well. Please finish it.

[@Burn77oas7]

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Stop being so hard on yourself, both pieces look cool and are one of a kind unique works of art.

[@ajaysampsom]

The one you think didn't work out, I love it. I'd use it to hold my fine liners that I use with my color pencils

[@clellasher7473]

They are both amazing!! If you're worried about the milliput, make a thin groove, & a couple more groves various widths, fill them with the blue to tie it all together... But both pieces are beautiful & stand on their own the way they are!! Thank you for sharing...

[@ThisZombieBitesEverything]

G’day mate, you are so so silly… and I love it. I love how you can mix silliness with cool art works,not to forget that you also keep it safe. Stay safe and stay silly.

[@kimkimba1131]

As some others have said, I also liked the bowl. I could see it on a dresser or a desk for holding small items. The other piece looked nice as well. The color of the milliput seemed to fit the more I looked at it. Another project done and you made us smile. Thanks. 😁

[@wendimooreart]

I like both pieces. That funky bowl is unique.

[@HareAndHive]

Love the bookshelf vase (seriously, look at it, it looks like book shelves for a fairy!) and I actually really like the bowl, super interesting with all the mistakes and bubbles and stuff in it. I think it will be one of those pieces that every time you look at it, you're gonna find something new and interesting on it.

[@jimparsons9454]

I actually like the 2nd one also. It has character which makes it unique. Like Bob Ross used to say: "Happy little accidents".

[@jasonhilliker492]

How the viewer sees the piece can be a lot different than how you think it turned out. I think they looked really good. Keep on making awesome videos!

[@wmcwane01]

I'm sitting in Gonzales Louisiana during hurricane Ida. I'm upset because my friends and family are going through hell in new Orleans. But I saw your upload and had to watch. I'm telling you this that someone maybe having the worst day of their lives but you and you amazing videos give them a break. Like it does for me often. Please keep making the world smile. You are a bright spot on the terrible day here.

[@nickzammeti]

Thank you Waldo 🙏🏽

[@tbear6287]

So I didn't work today due to the last bands of hurricane Ida coming through and I had time on my hands. Naturally, I turn to KZbin and I was greeted with a fresh Nick Zammeti vid. Too awesome. Happy days as it were!

[@melodykowalski3469]

Nick- I love the first one, it has a pseudo Egyptian feel to it. The second one, well love bonody's nerfect. Keep doing what you do.

[@sarah.weaver]

I don't have as much time for KZbin lately as I used to, so I don't always catch your videos... But your videos and your positive energy helped get me through a really dark and difficult time in my life. I will forever be grateful! And I will always try and catch your videos when I can! ❤️

[@OdairLucasLucas]

Um excelente trabalho parabéns.

[@lokilover1315]

Hey, your work is amazing! I knew you had it in you! Thank you so much for turning any negative critique into inspiration, rather than letting it get you down. This came out over a week ago, and I wish KZbin would get its algorithm right, but I'm glad I saw this now. I hit the bell today, so I won't miss next time.

[@tinachappell520]

Nice to see part 2 nick! Love the vase and I’d have your so called fails any day (love the bowl)

[@doninis1354]

When you don't like the bowl maybe it is not finished😉 I like bubbles and uneven outcomes it makes it more special. What if you cover the bowl again in resin, or take liqued metall or make uneven holes in it and it turned into a candleholder (the holes would make nice shadows probably). Maybe air dry clay could do a very nice relief on it. Just saying. Makers Central is a very nice event you came up with, I am happy for you that it went so well (besides the pandemic). I love to be ther one day.

[@Tappadocious]

Well I've never seen the words "uploaded 10 seconds ago on KZbin" before, so that's interesting. Anyways, pumped to watch the part 2!

[@OmaGails]

I think they are both unique just like you.

[@snarky4lyfe144]

Nick, there is no such thing as perfect art! I love the funky wonky bowl, its unique and interesting, not to mention a conversation starter. Dont put your art down , you might not like it, but there arw plenty of people like myself who love imperfect art, as most of it is one of a kind, i love unique pieces. If you dont want the bowl, i would love to have it .

[@toddwagester5412]

Dude, you just totally made my birthday, for real, you are THE most funkadelic Smurf I've ever seen, l9ve the project usually do, but the blue face made me laugh sooo hard, Nick you're awesome dude, keep building, and inspiring you funky brother😁✌

If you ever wondered why I subscribed. One you're a talented person that has a really great imagination.

D. Your personality and energy are infectious.

It keeps it real when some things don't work they way you'd like them.but the vase ..winner!!! Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦

[@jacquiemouton9053]

Not everything has to conform to others perceptions of perfect. I love both these projects as they are colourful and the blue milliput enhances that. Pretty cool.

[@PBRJOHN684]

It's never a failure with you, but a work of art. If you don't like they way it turns out someone else will. Keep up the good work and I will see you on your next project 👍

[@michelerussell9044]

I really like it. I love the milliput color in there.

[@CynsCraftingWorld]

I love the bowl. There are visuals from it that I think are great. You can see entire pencil shapes and the colors on the bottom. I say keep it.

[@Hasmanian]

First one's a great looking piece, Nick. Milliput needs to make a tan or beige version for wood projects.

[@Charlielizard]

Nick, what are you saying? I loved both upcycle projects. The bowl was unique. And that blue Milliput was the perfect choice. You're a genius/artist. Loved this video because of the ideas, but, especially because of the waffling. Almost choked on my tea when you turned with a blue face. I'll say it again, you and Charlie are like family. Love the content and the humor. Have a fantastic week and you all be safe and well. Adios Amigo!

[@composing-chaos]

The short colored pencils reminded me of library stacks for some reason. It’s really pretty with all the colors.

[@katshomekorner9194]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one that saw that. LOL

[@wonderqueerTT]

I thought that too

[@lynniev]

I'm halfway through your video and your many references to the coasters are cracking me up!!!! The vase turned out beautifully! The miliput didn't bother me. The bowl is funky. It was neat to see the whole process. Have a great day, Nick!

[@monikacarter7681]

I think the milliput looks great. It makes the pieces look even more interesting and colorful. I like this upcycling project a lot! By the way, you've got a little something on your nose, Nick. Yeah, right there. 😁😁

[@caromal3078]

I love the vase! I think the turquoise milliput looks fine! Just not as "uniform" as you are used to doing 😉 Have to say I was a little disappointed the "bowl" didn't work out. But I was thinking you might be making a top for the vase to make it look like a lighthouse when not in use 🤷 Know wha' I'm sayin'! 😉

[@melissaburnett4479]

Personally, I really like both of them.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

I dig it. I think it would be cool to make another "log" of pencils, then cut it down into lumber and do a build with that. Like a dovetailed jewelry box made with color pencil lumber. Food for thought.. thanks for your awesome attitude and enthusiasm! Big ups from Upstate New York ❤️💛💚

[@kathleenposton2334]

The shape of the tall piece reminds me strongly of the cooling towers at my local nuclear power plant!

[@DraikanicG]

I think the blue's really nice with the pieces! The wood's really warm so the blue gives a nice temperature contrast. I also think the bowl turned out really nice! The blue's really pretty on it and I think the holes give a little character to it. :)

[@fardareismaigrandma6825]

The small bowl might have been a “failure” but I loved the potential. I like the pencil projects but I liked the look of the small pot where the pencils were not packed solid. Ever think about making a pencil project where there were spaces of just clear resin and spaces filled with pencils? I saw the potential for a really cool look in that small pot. I LOVE the waffle. Keep waffling on!

[@dannas9058]

Every time I see something with Yorkshire on it I think of Yorkshire grit!. I literally hear your voice in my head saying it...Thanks Nick 😆

[@GaaraJunkie]

Hello mate, I like every additions you put to your work as I go with an old Japanese attitude towards Kintsugi Kintsugi, also Kintsukuroi, is the process of mending the areas of breakage with lacquer that is dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It goes with the philosophy that the breakage and repair are part of object’s history, which they deemed more valuable than hiding the damage

[@michaelanderson1015]

Don't ever stop being who you are. Your the greatest. Love your vids, love your projects, love the waffle. Keep it up my friend!

[@gracewhaley3945]

[@Jillysmom63]

Hey Nick you can save that 2nd part. Dremel put the spots that look bad and fill them with milliput or resin! You could make it look pretty cool then. That’s what I’d do. Oh you could even mix your own colors in the milliput by mixing up some co,ors then mixing them together,.

[@heartajack]

It’s good to see the failures and how you deal with them. Lets us know it’s not the end of the world when we mess up our own project. Still love the channel!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

[@wadewilson7001]

The artist is always the most critical of his own work

[@carrie4910]

Don’t worry about the bowl Nick. These things happen and atleast you gave it a go instead of chucking in the towel 😁 Can you paint resin? Perhaps you can cover the blah? Also im curious…can you put saw dust/wood shavings in resin? That would look cool i think.

[@piratetaylor29]

Nick, the second piece would make a great desk top pen & pencil holder although I'd use it for holding color pencils. Ironic!

[@clarewillison9379]

It’s not the colour that’s a bit weird (love it), it’s more the shapes of the chip-outs. Wonder if you carved them into long grooves to match the pencil shapes more then filled those with the milliput it would’ve worked better? Love the vase shape.

Hi mate love the videos. Quick question have you ever thought about building a little booth around your lathe to contain the vast amount of material that comes off your work just to help clean up be much easier? You could start putting your stickers on the walls from what people send you. Just an idea. 👍🏼 keep up the good work mate.

Black would have been better on the bowl. Can you dab on paint in a light cream over the turquoise? something as close to the color of the clear yellowish parts as possible, would blend in better. The clear features of the bowl is really cool
